And The Winner Is…

You know, I just realized that all four anime I shortlisted in the poll all have cute anime girls on their promotional materials…I wonder what this says about me…

Anyway, here are the final results. I commented earlier today on my Twitter account but just to make sure everyone is on the same page…

Not sure how well this poll will go but since my watch list this season is paring down, what would be a good not-so-current anime to watch and cover in episode reviews? Here's what I'm considering but I'd love some help with singling out a pick.

As you can see, the winner of the poll is School-Live!. It won by a pretty big lead too at 43%, something the other three shows couldn’t compete with. Honest confession: I actually know very little about this show. I don’t know anything about the plot; I’ve simply heard of this series many times and figured it would be a good series to watch blind. I can only assume that this is one of those anime where people really like seeing others react to it…Oh well, it won the poll and I am curious to find out why it did. My first Episode Review will be posted sometime this week or the week after.

Now, I originally planned on just settling with the one winner but I have decided that I might use what won second place as a back-up series in case my watch list this Winter season shrinks down by a lot. What won second place? Well, here’s where it gets a little strange. Right now, Twitter is telling me Yuki Yuna is a Hero beat Flip Flappers by just one percent but earlier this morning, both shows were shown at a tie. It’s tricky since I can’t actually see the actual number of votes per show. Assuming Twitter won’t recalculate, let’s just assume Yuki Yuna won second place. Maybe I’ll get to the show this season, maybe I won’t. It really just depends on the time but to those who voted, please know that it’s not out of the realm of possibility just yet.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who vote for this poll. 14 votes might not be a huge number but that is honestly a lot more people than I expected to participate so this honestly really makes me happy. And don’t worry if you happened to have missed the poll. I’m sure there’ll be another one someday. I actually have a few ideas already but I’ll save it for later.

I’ve actually seen a little bit of Soranowoto and I really enjoyed what I saw of it, hence why I shortlisted in the poll. I don’t want to rule out episode reviews completely but that kind of blogging is an investment (at least to me personally it is) so I really want to take other people’s interests into consideration. At the very least, a series review is always an open possibility.
